CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

No, I didn't. The link you gave was to a thread in which I can't post.
If your convex disc moon is just above the horizon then someone in London would see the same features on the moon as someone in Sydney. That doesn't happen. How do you explain that?

Ah, so "trust the media". They've certainly shown themselves to be 'trustworthy'

In the post to which you linked, you just showed a disc equally spaced between two places. I kept asking you in the thread, post after post after post, what would we see if the moon was on the horizon.
You refused to answer. As you are refusing to do so now. Because it's obvious that we'd all see the same features the same way around. But we don't. So what's your explanation?

No, the media is not trustworthy. But then again, that's not the question I answered.Ah, so "trust the media". They've certainly shown themselves to be 'trustworthy'

Galileo did it centuries earlier. We all experience it every day in cars or trains or planes. If you spill your coffee at 500 mph, it falls in your lap, not toward the back of the cabin.

Even at 10 mile there should be a 67 foot drop in curvature, but there isn't.

The road rises and fall along its entire length. At eye level you can only see about 3 miles to the horizon. With my drone at 300 feet, the view is out to 21 miles. The drone can see trucks approaching that it can't see at 6 feet.
Same looking out to sea. There might be no ships in sight at ground level, but send the drone up to 1,000 feet and it can see ships almost 40 miles away. How do you explain that?

Just because an organisation calls itself "Freedom From Religion Foundation," and has "In Science We Trust" as their motto, that doesn't suddenly turn every scientist in the world into somebody who wants freedom from religion. I have no idea how many of the world's scientists have any connection with FFRF. I am fairly sure it's not many.

It does no such thing. Science (especially NASA) points to deception.
